BUSYBODIES VS. TRUTH. Here Are The Facts--Judge For Yourself. Busybodies who see in success only falsity, who, without making au effort to inform themselves, blatantly cry offense against honesty and truth—seem to forget that a slur against Dr. Pierce’s well-known non-alcoholic family remedies is a slur against the intelligence of thousands of clear-thinking American women who know they have been helped and cured by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It is not a “patent medicine” in the true meaning of the word—it is simply the favorite remedy which Dr. Pierce used ix an extended practice for the treatment of the diseases of women.

BEGGS’ BLOOD PURIFIER | CURES catarrh of the stomach, Picking Out a Cow. I have first and last picked out @ good many cows and have sometimes made expensive mistakes. I have also frequently succeeded in getting hold of a very good dairy animal. I have learned a few things about picking out cows that are of value to me and may be to someone else. One of the things is that where a cow can be pur- chased in the environs of a town it is possible to learn something -about her from neighbors. I frequently get on the track of a good cow by inquir- ing if there are any cows to sell in that neighborhood. The reply will be that So-and-So has a wonderful cow that gives milk eleven months in the year and very rich milk at that. A good cow in a small place soon gets a reputation all her own. I approach the owner and offer the prevailing price. He, of course, refuses, and says he would not part with that cow under such and such a price, naming @ price that he thinks high. But I, knowing that a good cow is worth a dozen times a fair cow and a hundred times a poor cow, do not regard the price as high. I look the cow over, milk her myself and take some of the milk home to test. This I do by setting it overnight in a straight glass. The method is a little crude, and a better way would be to use a Babcock tester, but the results are approximately correct. Even with a Babcock test a single test would count for little more than this test in an ordinary water glass, In the main, I try to buy cows that are four or more years old, as at that time in life they have demonstrated what they can do as milk producers. A heifer does not show what she can do, and I can’t afford to experiment, when I can buy very good cows rela- tively cheap.—George Ellis, Caldwell Co., Ky., in Farmers’ Review. Bog Butter. Samples of “bog butter” are to be found in various museums in Scot- land and Ireland, and some of these samples are known to be at least 350 years old. Analyses made in Great Britain: show these samples to be real butter. All the bog butters contained glycer- ine, proving their animal origin, and their analyses and physical properties show them to be simply butter which has been kept for a long time in un- usual circumstances. The ubiquitous red hairs tell a tale. The suggestion is made that the milk was churned in a skin—a very old process still prac- ticed by the Arabs. Far from object- ing to the presence of hairs in his butter, the old-time gourmet seems to have regarded them as a necessary adjunct, as the Roman did the flavor of pitch in his wine. In the Ulster Journal, Vol. VII., the following quota- tion is given from the Irish Hudibras: “Great heaps of thick three-corned bread, And hairy butter van did lead.” Bog butter is usually found packed in barrels or kegs hollowed out of a single piece of wood witha cover cut from another piece of wood, and some- times with a bottom of skin with the hair attached. Sometimes the butter is wrapped up in coarse cloth, the bark of trees or rushes, and one sample so wrapped up still retains on the surface of the but- ter the print of the hand of the lady who had shaped it. It is not absolutely certain why the packages of butter were placed in bogs. Three possible reasons are suggest- ed—(1) accident, (2) that a strong taste due to the coarse herbage the cows fed on was got rid of by the proc- ess, and (3) preservation. The follow- ing quotation from the Irish Hudi- bras seems to confirm either er both of the Second and third reasons: “Butter to eat with their hog Was seven years buried in a beg.” A Whole Milk Starter. As good results can be obtained from whole milk starter as from skim- milk starter. In my opinion the skim- milk starter is the safest to use. First, for the reason that after it becomes thick the skim-milk starter will show whey sooner than the whole milk and warns you of the danger of its becom- ing overripe; and, second, any cff flavors or defects are more easily ob- served in a skim-milk.starter because the cream in the whole milk starter gives the whole milk starter a creamy flavor, which is rather catchy and agreeable to taste and has a tendency ot covering up some of the bad flavors. The skim-milk starter is also so much smoother and breaks up so much more 2asily and does not have Jumps as is the case in whole milk starter—P. H. Kieffer. Cash Value of Inspection. Minnesota was one of the first states in the Union to establish a system of dairy inspection. Here in- spectors were armed with authority 70 =prosecute creamery operators, theese factory managers and dairy owners who did not clean up their premises and keep them in accordance with the state regulations. During che last four years the reputation of Minnesota butter has been such that nuch of it has sold at a premium on che general market. In four years ‘his premium has amounted to $1,000,- #00, which is all surplus to the Min- lesota farmers. This should be a esson to the farmers in other states © support the efforts of the state {airy inspectors in securing the high- 2st class of dairy products. Effects of English Stock Shows. A factor that has done a great deal ‘for the English people in this respect, is their excellent system of breeding and their fat stock shows. These people get a great deal more good out of these shows, as a class, than do our own people. It is a sight never to be forgotten, to witness the throngs of people at one of these shows, who, with catalogue in hand, make a criti- cal examination of each animal, in regular order, throughout the entire show. The shows are exceptionally well managed, from the standpoint of affording the greatest possible amount of educational advantage. The ani- mals are stabled not only according to breeds, but according to classes. All bulls of a certain age of one breed are to be found in consecutive order in the same row of stalls. The judg- ing is always completed early the opening day, and the awards hung up in a conspicuous place at the head of each animal, so that there is not the slightest difficulty in finding all of the prize-winning animals. This sensible system of stabling, combined with an equally good system of cataloguing, renders the inspection of the animals @ very simple and highly instructive task. This systematic inspection of the animals commences immediately after the completion of the judging work, and continues with ever-increas- ing interest until the close of the show. It is here that the young men learn the lessons and receive the in- spiration which leads them on to be come the breeders of their day and age. Those of more mature age, and oftentimes having had long years of successful breeding work, are as eager for a chance to make a critical examination of the prize winners as are the younger men, for these men of experience have long since learned that a string of good young things are not the result of chance or accident, but are the never-failing indication tnat a good sire will be found on the farm from whence the youngsters came. It is in this manner that many a successful sire has been located.— W. J. Kennedy in Farmers’ Review, te Walls of Stables. The problem of what material to use in the construction of stables is one that confronts the farmer that is about to build a stable that he wants to be a permanent edifice. There is some advantage in building stable walls of stone or brick, or even gravel, but usually that advantage is more than compensated for by the increase in the cost. Wood is without doubt the warmést material to use, especially if there can be an air space between two thicknesses of the wood. The thermal permeability of wood is about 100 to about 400 of stone, cement and the like. Brick also permits the trans: mission of heat quite readily and is most serviceable when there is an air space between two layers of brick Dead air has a thermal permeability of about 50, which gives it double the value of wood as a protection against cold. All materials like stone have the advantage of being non-combustible, but this is not a very great factor, as most of the fires in barns are serious because of the burning of the contents of the barns rather than of the struc- tures themselves, and stone walls will not prevent the combustion of dry hay inside. The question of the material out of which the walls are to be constructed must be settled by the cheapness and abundance of certain materials in any one neighborhood. The writer knows of one locality where the farmers have built their barns largely out of boul- ders left by the glaciers. They consti- tute the cheapest and best material in that locality. The Public Sale. The public sale of swine is with- out doubt an educator of no small value. The man that has only poorly- fashioned hogs does not hold a sale. :t would be of no use for him to do so. The man that puts his money into stock for a sale and puts money into advertising that sale has something good to offer. The farmers well un- derstand this amd come together in large numbers. The animals they see are object lessons that are not forgot- ten when the farmers return to their homes. If the farmer does not buy a single animal he benefits himself, even by his attendance at the sale. The Bacon Hog. Gratifying progress is being made n both this country and Canada in the production of the bacon hog. At most of the great markets now the number of hogs of good bacon type that may be picked out of the daily offering is very large. Moreover, at Chicago and some other markets, ba- con hogs are now quoted daily as a separate class. This seems to be the end of the old charge that no atten- tion is paid to the bacon type in the great hog markets. Alfalfa Ground. Ground on which to plant alfalfa should be carefully prepared as early in the spring as convenient, though the seed in the latitude of northern illinois should not be put into the ground before the early part of May. The plowing should be deep and this should be followed by the roller, un- less the ground is a clay loam or clay. The seed should be sowed early enough to give it the benefit of the spring raine CUBAN MINISTER @ U.S. Recommends Pe-ru:na. Senor Quesada, Cuban Minister to the United States, is an orator born. In an article in The Outlook for July, 1899, by George Kennan, who heard Quesada speak at the Esteban Theatre, Matanzas, Cuba, he said: “I have seen many audiences under the spell of eloquent speech and in the grip of strong emotional excitement; but I have rarely witnessed such a scene as at the close of Quesada’s eulogy upon the dead patriot, Marti.” pany, w cine.
